Plumbing is an incredibly important and vital part of every home. Clogs, leaks and general plumbing failures often require the immediate attention of expert plumbing services.

With the ability and expertise to address problems from clogs to new constructions, Matthew Kandefer Plumbing approaches all your installation, repair, replacement and maintenance needs with the quality, and reliability that makes us your chosen partner in plumbing.

Faucets

Leaking and dripping faucets seem like one of the most common plumbing problems you can face. And they often seem harmless, and easily repaired by even the most novice of homeowners.

This is why you should allow the experts at Matthew Kandefer Plumbing to ensure your faucet repair and replacement is not only fixed correctly, but fixed the first time!

Sewer Main Replacement

Sewer main malfunction and deterioration can be a serious problem. It can result in poor drainage, unpleasant odors, leaks, water backup and damage, and ultimately, serious property damage.

The experts at Matthew Kandefer Plumbing are able to provide visual and camera inspections to determine whether your sewer main is a candidate for repair – pipes that may have holes, gaps, and breaks – or if it will need a total replacement. While we know that sewer main replacement can be a lengthy and stressful process, requiring property damage and time, we work hard to mitigate the mental and economic burden by not only replacing your sewer main, but by working with the city/count to process all necessary permits and inspections on your behalf.

WNY residents are no strangers when it comes to basement flooding. Lack of waterproofing, groundwater seepage, rainy days and snow melt all pose a threat to Buffalo basements, causing structural damage, and destroying personal property. Thankfully, most homeowners in Western New York are also very familiar with sump pumps – an invaluable tool in the prevention and mitigation of basement flooding.
